Deleted the profile and its directories and removed all associated files? Deleted the profile but not the directories/files? Is its directory still found he C:\Documents and Settings\ If so - you can at least get the stuff out of it - but you will be better off just creating a new profile with the same username and copying anything you can recover overall. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |

No it was not the user that I deleted.
It was the profile from c:\Documents and Settings\unx225 I want to recover some personal files that I had in that profile.

Please help!!! Well unless you have a backup, or the files are in the Recycle bin, I am afraid you are stuffed. |
